For the burgers

14.78 ml fermented black beans or 9.85 ml miso
ginger, finely chopped to produce about 2 tsp. chopped ginger
green onion, to produce about 3 Tbs. chopped
118.29 ml chopped fresh mushrooms
29.58 ml chopped walnuts
118.29 ml rice flour
4.92 ml cumin

For the sauce
59.16 ml tomato paste
0.19 ml Tabasco sauce
14.79 ml maple syrup

directions

If you’re going to be baking them, preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F
Chop up the ginger, green onions and mushrooms finely, and sauté in about half of the olive oil until the mushrooms are wilted and brownish.
In the meantime, chop up the nuts. Add to the sauté pan to toast a bit.
If using the fermented black beans, chop finely until they’re almost a paste.
Reserve a couple of spoonfuls of the beans. Mash up the rest of the beans with a masher or in the food processor. Put the fermented black beans in and process until it’s fairly smooth. Add the spice and rice flour and process again. Add the sautéed vegetables, the reserved beans and the nuts, and pulse-process until mixed (you want some of the texture to remain).
Divide the mixture into 8 to 12 portions. With moistened hands, make into flat little patties.
If baking in the oven, oil a baking sheet and then brush the tops with a bit more oil. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip then bake 5 minutes more.
If cooking in a frying pan, heat up the pan with the rest of the oil. Fry the burgers until crispy, carefully flip over and fry the other side.
In the meantime, mix the sauce. Brush the sauce onto the hot burgers, or serve separately for dipping.
Good hot or at room temperature.

My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) 5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. 4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. 3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
